BAY CITY, MI — Current and former soldiers will be able to trade barracks for a bed and breakfast across the country on Veteran’s Day, Sunday, Nov. 11.

In Bay City, the historic Webster House, 900 Fifth St., joins more than three dozen other bed and breakfasts in offering free rooms to veterans.

Gail Partee, Inn Keeper and Manager of Webster House, said this is the second year they have taken part in the event.

The two free rooms are already filled with two others on a waiting list, Partee said. “We have one coming from Saginaw and the other from Clarkston.”

The average overnight stay at Webster House can cost $150 or more, she noted. The veterans who received the free rooms will be able to bring a guest and also receive a full breakfast as part of their accommodations.

“We just wanted to thank our service people for all they do,” Partee said. “We are very pleased to offer them a wonderful stay.”
